25 | Licensing Program Analyst (LPA) David Marrufo conducted an unannounced Case Management visit and met with Ollie Vance, Administrator. The purpose of the visit was to address two separate incidents of medication errors that both occurred on 10/02/2023 and were self-reported by the facility via Unusual Incident Reports (UIR). The first medication error involved staff S1 giving resident R1 another resident's medication. The second medication error involved staff S1 combining all residents' 5:00 PM and 8:00 PM medications and giving them to resident R2. Both UIRs reported that staff monitored both R1 and R2 for any changes in condition after the medication errors and their families and primary care physicians were notified.
During visit, LPA Marrufo obtained copies of the following documents: Disciplinary Notice for S1, In-Service Training Records from 03/02/2023, 07/17/2023, 09/20/2023, and 10/04/2023, Med Room Checklists from 12/28/2023 and 01/05/2023, and Medication Cart Audit from 02/09/2024.
LPA Marrufo requests that Administrator Ollie Vance submit a Plan of Action to address the ongoing staff training and mitigations that will be put in place to prevent future medication errors.
An Advisory Note was issued. See LIC9102 for more information.
No deficiencies were cited at this time as per California Code of Regulations Title 22.
